Economic Recession Indicators
The discussion highlights that the price of commodities, particularly oil and copper, are strong indicators of a recession. Currently, oil prices are fluctuating between $70 to $80 a barrel, which is viewed as unusually low given the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Similarly, copper prices have dropped significantly, despite supply constraints, suggesting a downturn in global demand. These trends signal that the global economy is already experiencing a recession, contrary to perceptions of stability in the labor market.
